About
Protege is a 6yo horse from the United States trained by Michael L. Catalano, Jr. He is by the stallion Good Magic out of the dam Taboo. To date, Protege has captured five victories. On 28th Nov 2024 at Churchill Downs, he earned his most notable win, securing the $66,000.00 Race 3 purse. The animal has consistently delivered value to bettors, and backing Protege throughout his career would have yielded an 8% return on investment.
